Alinite cement which was developed in 1970s is an alternative inorganic, low-energy binding material in which chlorine containing wastes can be utilized. Although potentially a suitable candidate, there is little research on utilization of soda sludge waste in cementitious systems. In this experimental study, synthesis and optimization of the properties of alinite cement by using soda sludge waste as a raw material was carried out by investigating optimum calcination temperature and calcination duration, chemical and mineralogical compositions, and hydration products. When raw meal was calcined at 1150°C for 2 hours, the resulting clinker contained alinite, belite, and calcium aluminochloride phases with sufficiently low free calcium oxide and alkali content. Upon hydration of ground alinite cement clinker and gypsum mixture, peaks of portlandite, Friedel's salt-like phase, and calcium chloride silicate sulfate were distinguished in X-Ray diffractograms. Compressive strength tests of alinite cement mortars gave satisfactory results. © 2017 American Concrete Institute. All rights reserved.

Alinite cement is an alternative inorganic, low-energy binding material. This experimental study investigated hydration characteristics of alinite cement which was produced by using soda waste sludge as a raw material. Paste microstructures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Heat of hydration and compressive strength values were also determined. Formation of C-S-H gel and calcium chloroaluminate hydrates which resemble Friedel's salt was observed. Induction period of ...
Replacement of the Basic and Acidic Components of Magnesium Potassium Phosphate Cement with Calcium Sulphoaluminate Cement and Fly Ash Phosphate Salts

Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is an acid-base cement with applications as a construction material. This cement has properties superior to portland cement like high early strength. However, MPC has a short setting time, high heat of hydration, and poor water resistance. In addition, this cement uses dead-burned magnesium oxide, prepared at around 1500 ˚C, which consumes much energy, releases CO2, and increases cost. In this study, the two main components of magnesium potassium phosphate cement, dead-burne...
Properties of alinite cement produced by using soda sludge
Kesim, Asli Gunes; Tokyay, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Öztürk, Abdullah (2013-04-01)
A production route of alinite cement clinker using the waste material of the Solvay process of the soda industry as the main raw material was searched. Soda sludge (73.5 wt%), clay (26.3 wt%) and minor amounts of iron ore (0.2 wt%) were mixed to obtain a raw mix that is later burned at nine different burning schemes. Four different burning temperatures (1050, 1100, 1150 and 1200 degrees C) and three different burning durations (60, 90 and 180 min) were applied for clinkerisation. The clinkers obtained were ...
Effects of separate and intergrinding on some properties of portland composite cements
Soyluoğlu, Serdar; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Cement Engineering (2009)
In the production of cement, to increase the cement/clinker ratio and decrease CO2 emission, the most important alternative is to produce mineral admixture incorporated cements (CEM II-III-IV-V) instead of portland cement (CEM I). These cements are usually produced by intergrinding the portland cement clinker and the mineral admixtures. However, the difference between grindabilities of the different components of such cements may cause significant effects on the particle size distribution and many other pro...
Production of low-energy cements using various industrial wastes
Canbek, Oğulcan; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
One economical method of lowering the cement related impact of concrete is partial replacement using industrial wastes like fly ash,natural pozzolan,etc. On the one hand its maximum kiln temperature being 150-200°C lower than that required for PC and higher grindability of its clinker make calcium sulfoaluminate(CSA) cements preferable. This study aims to produce CSA cement with partially or completely replace traditional raw materials with some industrial wastes such as fly ash,red mud and desulfogypsum an...
